Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
Truck-related crashes in the work zones always resulted in severe injury outcomes. This paper analyses the injury severity of truck-involved crashes in the work zones based on a ten-year (2005–2014) … [Read more...] about Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
